?Chapter 138: Chapter 0148: Not Speaking Out, Is Even More Wrong Chapter 138: Chapter 0148: Not Speaking Out, Is Even More Wrong Once the local cultivators of the Lianying Realm reached an agreement, the proceeding matters became much easier to handle. All it required was taking a headcount, then handing it over to the Imperial Master Mansion.

The number of captive prisoners and total bodies had already been counted. Out of those yet to be handed over, there were thirty-one people, ten of whom were female cultivators, and the rest were male. The total number of bodies was much more significant, exceeding two hundred, with a total of two hundred and thirteen. The vast majority of them had been killed by the local cultivators during their attempts to break through the array.

Aside from these captives and casualties, there were also those who had successfully broken the array and entered the safe houses. However, the whereabouts of over two hundred people remained unknown. It was highly plausible that they had perished elsewhere within the Lianying Realm, their bodies either reduced to dust or left to decay in the wilderness, with little chance of ever returning home.

The local cultivators didn’t care about how many disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion couldn’t return to their homeland. They were more concerned about whether Qi Tian could come up with the ransom. With so many captives and bodies to ransom off, the cost would be twenty-two million three hundred and ninety thousand coins. Such a vast sum of money wasn’t easy to come by, even for Cai Qilong, the respected Family Master of the Cai family, let alone a boy like Qi Tian, who appeared to be only twelve or thirteen years old. The problem wasn’t that the Cai family didn’t have the wealth, but that Cai Qilong did not have the full control over it. Most of the wealth he could command was tied up in fixed assets, making it virtually impossible to conjure up over twenty million coins on the spot.

Not only were the local cultivators observing Qi Tian, but so too were the Imperial Master Mansion disciples, including Chu Yang. No matter how they looked at it, they couldn’t fathom how one person could muster such wealth. Were they to sell their blood on the spot?
